Rock ’n’ Roll in the
Digital Age
Up-and-comer Leah Jee is making music and bringing it
to the people via social media. BY MIA MANNS
Jee first caught LOTL’s eye with her debut video “Coming After You,”
which features her as a sexy cupid hooking up couples in a bar—many
of them same-sex. It was easy to have her breakout video feature lesbian
lovers, and her crew was incredibly supportive of her vision: “ It was awe-
some working with the cast and crew that I worked with. They saw what
I was trying to do and they hopped right on board. Everybody that was
in the video was more than willing to be a part
of it and proud to be a part of the project.” She
was able to stay true to her mission: to change
the world through music. Jee adds, “ Equality
is one of the most important things to me. It’s
definitely the campaign that I want to spend
the rest of my career working towards. When
I did this video I really wanted to incorporate
elements of equality and show different types
of couples.”
What’s the song about? It’s a reminder
to connect with the people around us. “ My
sexy cupid goes around and wakes people up
because it’s really easy to get lost in your cell
phone when you have an amazing person sit-
ting right next to you. These people wake up
and they see that the world is many different
colours.”
“Coming After You” may be her breakout
song, but she’s not new to this. “ I ’ve been writ-
ing music for as long as I can remember; since I
was a little kid.” It’s been 10 years of making it
into a career. At Pride Fest she opened for Cyn-
di Lauper, and it was opportunities like that,
in addition to incredibly supportive and loyal
fans, that helped her take her career to the next
level where she could live her dream full time.
A native of Southern California, these days
Jee is travelling a lot, “ If I’m not in California,
I’m either in Wisconsin or Illinois,” she tells us.
But her home state is still really important to
her. “The music scene in California is so great.”
She put her band together back in the Golden
State, signed herself to LRT through Univer-
sal, and found more and built up her fan base
there, and has plenty of new projects on the
horizon.
Her most recent YouTube release is the
video for “ Hero In Me.” Jee explains, “ It is for
the heroes, so I wanted to give the fans a little
bit of a gift and really celebrate Veteran’s day. I
have a lot of friends and family that are in the
armed forces. I thought we’d do something nice
for them as a way to say thank you.” She wrote
it for friends who had lost loved ones and felt
B
ecoming a YouTube sensation isn’t the biggest accom-
plishment of Indie pop punk artist Leah Jee; she’s had
a whole lot of success in her music career, not least of
which is the freedom to travel and tour for a growing
fan base in America. She also has fans internationally and
tons of hype surrounding her first EP, The Rest is Ours.
